The Lower is celebrating our first Remarkable Ridgy! The Lower is celebrating staff who go above and beyond every day. Miss Jess nominated Mr. Don because of his commitment to teaching kids to read and willingness to take on any task. Congratulations!

Mrs. Laverty’s 7th grade Reading classes wrapped up The Outsiders with an engaging mock trial that put Johnny Cade on trial for manslaughter. Both classes showed impressive critical thinking and strong arguments, with 5th hour’s defense successfully proving self-defense, while 6th hour’s prosecution secured a manslaughter conviction. Same case, different outcomes, and outstanding learning all around!


The students in Mrs. Crawford’s culinary classes have been learning about yeast. They made artisanal bread in Dutch ovens, and it turned out perfect. The bread had a crunchy outer shell while being soft and airy on the inside.







GHS students currently studying energy resources in Oklahoma learned about two-year programs at OSU-IT, such as Power Plant Operator, Natural Gas Compression, Instrumentation Engineering, Pipeline Integrity, and High Voltage Lineman. These programs at the Okmulgee campus include paid internships while in school and excellent job placement.
